Feature in the Capital Institute’s Field Guide

Oct 27, 2016

I was featured in the Capital Institute’s Field Guide for a Regenerative Economy in the fall of 2016, where I was interviewed by the sharp, gracious Susan Arterian Chang and I contributed three new comics to help tell my story of inheritance and redistribution. You can find the story here and the comics are excerpted below.

But a larger question remains, she says. “How do we get people of wealth to identify how much is enough, and then for the money that they don’t need, for them to be able to confidently redistribute it with the level of generosity that low- and middle-class folks give and invest. There are studies indicating that low- and middle-class individuals give away a much larger percent of their income than people of wealth, and that their combined giving exceeds the giving of high-net-worth individuals and foundations. How do we frame risk and return so power can be shared equitably when people get together to make investments in the community?”
